This study develops, validates and tests the effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) modules on selected topics in high school physics entitled Work, Power, Energy and Simple Machines.The research and development cycle and the pretest-posttest experimental design was used in the development and testing of the effectiveness of the CAI modules. Authorware was the main authoring system used in developing the modules. Five (5) physics professors and physics teachers, two (2) computer experts and fifteen (15) fourth year students from various high schools evaluated the CAI modules before their effectiveness was tested. The CAI Evaluation Guide made by Ong (1990) was modified by the researcher and was used by the evaluators in rating the CAI modules.
